Pokemon Art Card Appraisal

Charmander #004 Art Card (Pokémon)

The item is a Pokémon art card featuring Charmander, identified as #004, the Lizard Pokémon. This particular card is part of a series where 'all five art cards can be collected and combined into one big picture,' suggesting it's one of a set of five. The card has a teal-green border around its perimeter, framing the central artwork and informational text. The top section of the card displays a grayscale image depicting multiple Pokémon in what appears to be a natural setting, potentially a forest or cave. Below this, the primary artwork showcases Charmander in a vibrant, colorful scene, possibly by a river or stream, with an orange-brown bird-like Pokémon behind it. Charmander is depicted with its characteristic flame on its tail. To the right of the artwork, there's a white text box containing descriptive information about Charmander: its height (2' 00"), weight (18.7 lbs.), and a description of its tail flame as an indicator of its emotions. The text clearly states that the flame wavers when Charmander is enjoying itself and burns fiercely when enraged. The card's condition appears relatively good, with no visible major creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions, though minor edge wear or corner dulling is possible given its nature as a collectible card that would be handled. The bottom right corner of the card includes copyright information: '©2015 Pokémon, ©1995-2015 Nintendo / Creatures Inc. / GAME FREAK inc.', which indicates its production year or intellectual property rights. This places the card firmly in the modern era of Pokémon collectibles, likely from 2015 or later. The card exhibits good print quality and color saturation typical of officially licensed Pokémon merchandise.
